King City, OR. Community Park Mural

The city’s park entrance has been transformed by this colorful ceramic mural, gracefully depicting the Monarch Butterfly on the curved-wall surfaces. The community-involved project had many hands involved (special thanks to Karen Rycheck), and will coincide with a planting of a milkweed garden to help sustain the life of the monarch butterfly.

NW Oregon, piece by piece

Here’s a look at the Columbia River Valley, as it extends eastward from Portland up to Sweetbriar Elementary in Troutdale. The 4-5th graders of this school worked on this extraordinarily massive school art project, more than 66 sq ft! With fused glass and cut stained-glass, the kids used pattern and color to show this beautiful landscape.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go

Well, this happened at Woodstock Elementary, with the entire 5th grade. They were asked the impatient question:  What will you be when you grow up?   And this collaborative mosaic project  is their emphatic answer.  They walk under it each day in school.IMG_3145

October 2018- Jo and I had a fabulous time seeing Japan for the first time! There was so much to see, experience and sketch.
Watercolor travels well;

It was a good break.
